Wishing you all the best and a healthy 8 months.
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

First of all Congratulations on your pregnancy! I know it probably is scary for you though, so ((HUGS))
The pill doesn't absorb as well with a bypass. So it often doesn't work as well as before surgery. I used the ring in the past but I guess the ring even doesn't work too well if you are over a certain weight (I don't remember what the weight was? I think 200lbs? Someone can correct me, cause I'm sure I'm probably wrong).
There are quite a few ladies here that have gotten pregnant early post-op and they've gone on to have healthy pregnancies and babies. You definitely aren't alone! Welcome!
